This reservoir was constructed in 1979 as a flood control measure under the Flood Control Act of 1944. The reservoir provides flood protection to the downstream communities along the Jail Branch River. The reservoir's hydrology is fed by surface flow and snowpack melt from the surrounding mountains. The primary agricultural use of the area near the reservoir is hay farming. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities for fishing and boating. The reservoir has a capacity of 28 million gallons and covers an area of 31 acres. It is managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
